Ceremonial Grade Matcha
Buy It With
Our ceremonial-grade matcha grows in the shadow of Sakurajima, Japan’s most active volcano, in the Kagoshima Prefecture of Kyushu Island. Small-hold farmers cultivate carefully selected tea plants in mineral-rich soil, shade their plants for three weeks before harvest to optimise sweetness and nutritional profile, then pick the youngest leaves in the first flush of spring.
These leaves are stone-ground in small batches to produce a bright green, satiny matcha powder with a refreshingly sweet and softly umami flavour. Our ceremonial matcha contains high levels of antioxidant catechins and L-Theanine, which supports relaxation and mental clarity, improves sleep quality, and smooths the caffeine uptake curve, making for a bright, long-lasting energy boost.
Each bag contains 40g of matcha powder, equivalent to 20 ceremonial servings.
MATCHA CONTAINS CAFFEINE
Our matcha contains approximately 60 - 70mg caffeine per standard 2g serve (the equivalent of a strong cup of black tea, or about half a flat white).

Unlike regular green tea, you consume the entire tea leaf when you drink matcha. This means the quality of the leaf, the harvest, and how it's processed all have a direct impact on flavour, texture and the naturally occurring beneficial compounds in your cup. Premium first-harvest, shade-grown matcha is naturally sweeter, smoother and richer in compounds like L-theanine, without needing sugar or flavourings.
